Thanks

If anyone in my area is reading this and could help me, I would highly appreciate any advice or real help with installation of a scope. Otherwise, I will just use YouTube and Google, of course.

Thread 'Scope mounting to maintain zero'

Sep 29, 2017

After multiple requests for an explanation of how to mount a scope in order to have the lowest possibility of loss of zero, a discussion of a scope mounting video, and the latest thread about scope bases and action screw coming loose, I took some pics of what I do with a rifle when I get it and how I mount scopes (or anything with screws).

To start- a bit of background of why I say what I say.

I am a backpack hunter. What I write below is tailored to hunting.

Having sid that, I work at a place that fires a lot of ammo. I see over half a million rounds a year on average get fired...

I'm in solanco, I'll be up at carslile barracks in 2 weeks for the certified hunter range day if you want hands on help. I'm not wasting the time mounting a vortex though.

Appreciate the link.
Could you elaborate on Vortex part? I'm considering Vortex Viper PST Gen II 3-15×44. And want to install with a cantilever mount. Is it harder than what's in this description? Are there any installation specifics?

Read the second link. Vortex scopes have a strong record of failing to maintain zero.
